This is the final word on the subject. Heather Wilhelm is 100% correct. We can only blame the arrogance of one Barry "roof hit" Obama........

It was, more than anything, a stunning vote of no confidence—one that might have caused a more introspective person to take pause. Instead, our president doubled down. During a conference call with various governors Tuesday night, administration officials refused to expand information-sharing about the refugee settlement process, while White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough insisted, as Bloomberg View put it, “that the federal government saw no reason to alter the current method of processing refugees.”
For his part, Obama opened his heart, attempted to understand where his opponents were coming from, and turned on some good old-fashioned charm. Just kidding! Visibly irritated, he ripped his opposition, lumping them together as a bunch of sniveling cowards afraid of widows and orphans.
"We are not well served when, in response to a terrorist attack, we descend into fear and panic,” he said. “We don't make good decisions if they're based on hysteria or an exaggeration of risks."
There you have it, folks: If you doubt any portion of our current refugee policy, you’re “hysterical.” Never mind that a recent poll showed 13 percent of Syrian refugees declaring a “positive” or “somewhat positive” view of ISIS, or that at least one of the Paris attackers apparently arrived in France posing as a refugee. Never mind the 26 charges of terrorism brought up against foreign-born individuals in the U.S. in the past year, as Sen. Jeff Sessions documented this week, or the fact that in October, FBI Director James Comey testified that our current system likely can’t effectively vet Syrian refugees.
